We are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with @IDWPublishing to produce this years BotCon Comic Transformers: Dawn of the Predacus

Online stores are starting to receive new images of upcoming TakaraTomy product including a new Masterpiece in the form of MP-31 Delta Magnus, a homage to the original Diaclone Ultra Magnus figure. Other figures who were shown as gray prototypes were Galvatron, Skullcruncher and Hardhead.

The oddness is that whilst the applications are new they have a prior registered date associated with them as if they are actually follow up applications which is indicated by their status of "New application will be assigned to an examining attorney approximately 3 months after filing date.".

This could indicate a change in procedure by the USPTO.

Remember we bring you the trademark application news first. Expect other fan sites to publish this news in 2-3 days ;)
